Some Mosins came in with red fill in the sight leaf and stamps. I've got a few rifles somewhere that have white that someone added. It doesn't bother me unless its smeared all over the metal. Most of the time it partially rubs off during cleaning/handling and is left faint enough so its barely noticeable. I have a Saiga that has the serial number filled with an off white. Looks like it was done a long time ago, possibly by the importer so I left it.
yellow ish as well on the nagants if Im not mistaken.....
Yep. Must have been something used in Russia because the color in the Saiga serial number I have does have a yellow-ish tint to it but I'd still consider it white. I'm sure it yellows over time and that's what is probably in some Mosin markings.
